The Internet of Things (IoT) has steamrolled its way into businesses around the world, presenting itself as a golden opportunity for creating value and generating new revenue streams.

Of all the new types of data that have been unleashed onto organisations by the IoT, time series data – data created with a timestamp – is the most significant.

Time series data makes it possible to identify patterns and forecast trends in ways that create significant competitive advantages for businesses. Both speed and scale are integral, which is a unique challenge for enterprise databases.

In a webinar hosted by Information Age and Basho, learn how to get the most out of the Internet of Things. The webinar will discuss:

• What is time series data and the market dynamics driving changes in data – time series data is fast becoming the largest-growing data type in the IoT universe.

• How to deliver the high performance required for time series data and its huge number of data sources

• Best practices and real IoT practical examples on how to structure and leverage data for success

• Annard Brouwer, Senior Software Architect at Intellicore Services, will discuss how they are using Time Series data to drive customer and fan engagement through their Sports Data Platform for the likes of the National Rugby League (NRL), FIA Formula E Championship and Wembley Stadium.
